I collect Russian Imperial coins, and also always looking for errors of Russian coins. Here 1865 5 kop Mirror Brockage 1749 Denga Clip ( Straight , end of the leave) 1731 Polushka Double struck 1742 1/2 kop in silver Mirror Brockage. If anybody has some Russian errors, please share with us.
I love your errors irina, especially the brockages. I think they're the most interesting type of error there is. Sorry I don't have any to post, but thanks for showing yours. Bruce
?, You don't see the double crown above the 2, and the doubled wreath around it?. I am guessing that is the coins Reverse.
So how common are errors of this period? I ask because for some issues errors are the norm, like Byzantine, and non-errors are the highly sought issues, while modern coins have great rarity to errors. I bought 50 5 kopecks from Catherine the Great 10 years ago, and it seemed offcenter strikes were very common on those.
did I understand you right, you got 50 coins with 5 kop nominal ? Congrats to you!!! Good investment! about errors, yes for this period of time and for copper coins , it's very common , off center, double, triple strike,clip same for polushka, denga ,but I did not see any errors for the same time, but for silver, I think they are rare. For coins 1840 , common errors for 1/4;1/2 kop with silver, Russia had this pattern, errors Mirror brokage,and for 1856 , 5 kop have some errors.After all, I may say, rare errors if they are exist , will be any silver before 1917.
BWY, for Medoraman , if you got this coins, take a time a catalog them properly , use catalog Bitkin for russian coins ( you actually can download free from internet, it's important, which eagle ( tail, wings ) goes with wreath( how many berries and etc) that may rocket price like nobody business however here is good resource for price on coins, you can translate on English if you wish. http://www.m-dv.ru/
